Your argument is so funny it makes me want to cry, when I take into account that you call yourself a progressive conservative. Progressive Conservative. A complete contradiction in terms.
Not in the slightest, the reason most of our provincial level conservative party and a not-insignificant wing of the federal level party call ourselves that is because the ideology is best summed up as "socially progressive economic conservatives".
Now granted I'll be the first to admit that with how things have changed since the 1950 when the term first came about things have changed, namely that progressivism is no longer something that's catch-all and instead has become a left wing anti-liberal view, with the term for PCs being grandfathered in more then anything else, and today would be better named Liberal Conservatism or Libertarian Conservatism, but it's not as if those between the 50s and 80s could have predicted progressives going so absolutely batshit that you'd more easily believe they're Soviet subversives then people who actually believe their own insane bullshit (because as sad as it is, despite knowing it's the latter it's still easier to think of it being the former)
this country is okay with rich white men raping young women.
Yes, that's why those same white men (rich or not, in fact usually not) are the ones used to explain why we need to get rid of due process by progressives who have long stopped pretending they want anything other then a fascist state, and why you need conspiracy to keep this under wraps, because the lynch mob we're so quick to form if we find out is totally what a rape culture would look like.
Oh wait, it's the literal opposite, small groups that allow rape within their ranks (usually Islamic or far left entertainers in the West, odd how that played out) have to do everything in their power to prevent society from finding out because we react to it so badly it's a significant part of the reason the right and far right are taking over Europe in an unstoppable wave right now: because the thing they've promised to solve is actually a problem we're okay with.
The level of delusion and projection required to think a rape culture exists in the West is mind numbing to think about. And we're repeatedly told this is coming from the same place that's smarter then the average. I'm not sure which I'm more, surprised or disgusted.
